    It is a very serious matter to be unclean before God. 2 Corinthians 7: 1. Matthew 22: 39. A person could reason that because the words smoking or nicotine is not specifically mentioned in the Bible that it must be okay, but we should not deceive ourselves into thinking God would accept a person addicted to any substance. Romans 12: 1,2. The medical evidence of how much smoking damages our body makes it clear that it takes over our mind and our body in a horrible way. I reason it this way that the Bible warns again gluttonous so it makes it clear that smoking would be even worse.

    Since nicotine usage is bad for your health then its at least a minor sin if not a major one since it could be argued its a form of slow suicide? Also passive smoking effects other people's health so its selfish which is a sin?

    It doesn't. It also doesn't say I am not allowed to eat 6 tubs of cream cheese icing with a spoon every night for dinner.

    Try common sense.

    IT doesn't say that... but it says your body is the temple of the holy spirit. So if you destroy your body with smoke and cigerrettes.. then you are disrespecting the temple of God.
